Thank you for replying, @ucbalumnus. Appreciate your knowledge of the CA system!
Physics 1/2, Chemistry Honors 1/2, Advanced Biology 1/2 are already done. As are Math 150/151 (Calculus), Linear Algebra and Discrete Mathematics. (I made an error; it’s Math Calculus with Analytic Geometry III and Differential Equations that will be covered the next two semesters during junior year.)
If I read the assist link correctly, it appears that Eng 101, 105 and 205 are applicable (says UC-E). The history/polysci courses all note UC-B. The math UC-M. PHYN 100, ASTR 101, GEO 101 all note UC-S.
For the associate’s degree, there is a required Nutrition 150 GE course, but that does not seem to have a UC transferrable code, neither does the HEALTH ED 101 course taken this summer.
Basically, four high school courses are required to be enrolled; the sports schedule means my kid can’t often be on campus (independent study school, so each class is once weekly).
Except for English and APUSH, my kid is done the school course offerings in math, science (except AP Bio, which kid is less interested in than AP Physics and AP Chemistry) and Foreign Language (did the AP Spanish test in May).
So we are looking at four courses where the kid can be enrolled but attend in a more specialized manner. Gym classes at this school are self-reported since they don’t have organized gym classes; you simply provide a monthly accounting of your sports schedule. Several athletes attend this school precisely for the looser class schedule and credit for their sports play. (New changes in health mandates this school year, however, are probably going to impact this.)
So, my kid’s sport’s time is recognized and credited as one course, and they don’t have to be on campus for it.
